I cant believe that it’s been a year already. I’ve missed you every day since you left us. You said to look for butterflies, so today we did. We love you so much! Love never dies.

🚨 #CopOrDrop 🚨⁣⁣
– PREPARE TO GRACE THE STAGE 🎓✨⁣
⁣
Ayo, this ain't your average retro revival. @Jumpman23 has delivered one of the most sophisticated executions to ever grace the hardwood, blending heritage with high fashion. When the 6 silhouette meets this aesthetic, you don’t just wear the shoe: you celebrate the milestone.⁣
⁣
The Palette: We’re looking at a blackout masterpiece. Deep, ink-black patent leather that demands attention without saying a word. The contrast between the high-shine overlays and the matte finish underneath creates a silhouette that feels like a trophy.⁣
⁣
The Score is in the Details: Premium materials from top to bottom. The traditional toggle is swapped for a cleaner, more formal look, while the metallic Jumpman emblem on the heel provides that subtle, prestige finish. The Origin: This colorway bridges the gap between the court and the commencement stage, proving that the greatest of all time still sets the bar for class. This isn’t just a drop; it’s a legacy. 🏆⁣

🚨 #CopOrDrop 🚨⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
– 𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝙇𝙄𝙑𝙀𝙎 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙒𝙀𝙀𝙉 𝙒𝙊𝙍𝙇𝘿𝙎. 🚪🌫️⁣
⁣⁣
Where Hawkins meets your rotation — the familiar flips strange. A classic Dunk silhouette pulled straight into the Upside Down, stitched with echoes of 1987 nostalgia and shadow-world energy.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cracked leather fades like forgotten hallways, while inverted Swoosh + tongue tags bend perception. Textures look lived-in, haunted, remembered — yet still clean enough to flex in broad daylight.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Yellowed midsoles hit with that film-grain patina — like they’ve seen some things. Like they’ve been there.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This isn’t just a sneaker. It’s a portal.⁣⁣

How about a quick update?

I haven’t had the energy to make a post about the new White Cement J4’s, but they are amazing. I’ve not really been able to wear sneakers much, kinda living in @nike Rejuvenate slides, but the WC4 is well done and a pair I want to wear a ton when my health returns!

This picture was from a beautiful Family Wedding we had in late May. Kiddo was the Ring Bearer so of course she had to walk in some Jordan’s 11’s. 😎

Chemo and Radiation are kicking my ass. I’m not gonna lie. Between feeling sick, being in pain and having to do test after test…..my body feels the effects of it all. Not that I ever want another surgery, but those are so much simpler. You get the procedure and then slowly work back to strength….with Chemo and Radiation you just keep deviating worse until it’s over and then try and get back to normal. Completely different scenarios and outcomes.

Thankfully my support system is robust, and bless Rachel for having to take on so many jobs at home to keep our family moving forward. None of this happens without her stepping up as heroically as she has. ❤️

So yeah, I’ll get back to normal sooner or later and by then I should have a few new sneakers to walk me out of the hospital and back into well being.

I appreciate and love you all!

Update:

We finished week two of chemo/radiation. ☢️ I’m not gonna lie, it takes a huge toll both physically and emotionally. I go in M-F and I’m starting to get the ‘build-up’ effect the doctors all mentioned. It’s only going to increase over time so I’ve been working hard to get as much done as I can before I can’t do much. The hard part really is knowing when to tell myself to slow down. I’ve never been much good at that relaxing part. 🫤

School has been a huge part of keeping myself motivated and driven. This week was Seniors last day and that was one of my big pushes. I went into the week with a handful of students who weren’t done but now that number is down to just a few. And I’m proud that I missed as little time as possible and kept up that high expectation for everyone…including myself.

My program should graduate out about 120 students, or around 1/4 of the school again. I take immense honor from this. Having something other than just my health to work on eases my mind so very much. And the pride I have in my students is a major factor in any healing my body gets. ❤️

Soon I will need to slow it all down, but in this moment….Im kicking cancers ass and getting work done. That’s as Z as it gets. Of course it all goes down in my @stetsonusa and my @jumpman23 😎.
